Costeño Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, ol’ Rusty here with a look at what’s cookin’ for Costeño Beach over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with ya – it’s a bit of a slow burner for the most part. The first week is pretty ordinary, with just small, weak waves poppin’ up. Things start to get a little more interesting towards the end of the second week, but even then, we’re not talking about anything epic. There’s a real lull after that, so don’t get your hopes up for a long run of fun.

Right now, and through the first few days, it’s pretty flat and messy. We’ve got some little 4ft to 4ft swells coming from the NE, but the energy is weak. The period is short, around 7 seconds, so it’s just wind slop. The wind is mostly a light cross-on, but on Thursday 3rd of September afternoon, it does go glassy. You might find a surfable wave then, but it’s gonna be very ordinary. The water’s sittin’ at a warm 83°, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up around Sunday the 6th of September morning. The wind goes totally calm and glassy, and we’ve got a 4ft NE swell. The energy is still only moderate, but that glassy surface will make it the cleanest it’s been. Still, the period’s a short 7 seconds, so the shape won’t be anything special.

Now, for the one true standout, you’ve gotta look ahead to Sunday the 13th of September. This is the best on offer by a long shot. We’ve got a 6ft NE swell with a moderate 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps right up to a strong level – that’s some proper push behind it. The wind is glassy out of the NNW in the morning and swinging light to SW in the afternoon, also glassy. It’s gonna be clean, consistent, and with that size, it’s just right for a fun session. Since it’s a consistent spot and the conditions line up, this is the one to mark on your calendar. Remember, that’s the 13th of September – a week and a half out – so keep an eye on the charts, but it’s lookin’ promising.

The day before, on Saturday the 12th of September, is also pretty decent with 6ft to 6ft and glassy conditions, but the 13th edges it out for quality. After that, the surf fades fast. By the 15th it’s dropping right back to tiny swell and poor conditions. From the 15th through the 17th, we’re looking at a stretch of days with little to no surfable waves – a proper gap.

So there you have it, folks. A long wait for a couple of good days, but if you can hold out for that Sunday the 13th, you might just score some of the cleanest waves of the run.

Rusty.
